Pues visto lo visto habrá que abrirle post para ella solita... "Does it work? OK, we will say it: the R3ACT mono-stay performs like nothing else we have ever ridden. From the first pedal stroke you can feel something different is going on. It’s a difficult feeling to explain, but the rear feels both connected to but also independent of rider weight. The back of the bike tracks the ground and responds to hits with a unique composure, seeming to accelerate forward with every hit. When it comes to pedalling efficiency, even fitted with a basic RockShox Monarch Debonair shock instead of the retail model’s Fox X2, the Wolf Ridge is a triumph of kinematics. Believe the hype, as this is the most efficient 160 mm bike on the market!" http://enduro-mtb.com/en/marin-wolf-ridge-9-review/ Muy mona no es... pero si funciona... "Conclusion The Marin Wolf Ridge left us at a quandary. In many ways the bike is a revelation, leagues ahead of the competition. It’s so damn efficient you could race an XC World Cup on this thing. As a trail bike, it’s extremely rapid and delivers sharp and engaging handling at any speeds. Whether this makes it a great bike depends a lot on where you live and what you ride. However, marketed as the one bike to do it all, it does need rider skill to push hard. The R3ACT system has taken Marin to the next level, but to unleash its full potential the geometry needs to step up too." Así la verán habitualmente el resto de marcas lastradas por su concervadurismo... Se abre el debate... ¿opiniones?
A sign of the future While not perfect, the Marin Wolf Ridge is one of the most exciting innovations to hit the industry in years. Watch this space. Next level efficiency The Marin Wolf Ridge R3ACT suspension system is the best climber we have ever ridden – the mono-stay is quiet and stable under power. Quién va a ser el primero en pillarse una??
Esto decía el guru de PB: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/marin-wolf-ridge-first-ride.html "In the handling department, the Wolf Ridge' geometry is a contemporary trail bike. Considering its 29-inch wheels, the 66.5-degree head tube angle is plenty slack enough to descend technical steeps without steering like a wooden tiller on the climbs. Reach is ample, measuring between 415 and 476 millimeters (16.3 and 18.74 inches) across the four available sizes, and the chainstay length is on the short side of the scale at 430 millimeters (16.9 inches). Mix in a sufficiently low bottom bracket height (336 millimeter/13.2 inches) and the Marin stacks up to be a playful trail machine with a good measure of stability. The old-school 73.5-degree seat tube angle, however, seems out of context with the rest of the Wolf Ridge's numbers—a necessity, says Marin, to position the rider where the suspension's kinematics are optimized." Una tija recta en lugar de con retraso como lleva el montaje de la foto seguro que le ayuda a no ser tan old school
con todos los respetos y sobre gustos ya se sabe... no puede ser más fea. Y mira que a esta marca le tengo un especial cariño
